  • SHOTGUNS Bolt-Action & Lever-Action Shotguns Double
    Shotguns SHOTGUNS VERY IMPORTANT: I have discovered that in most cases, I have figured out the ranges for 3" Magnum, 3.5" Magnum, and in some cases, things like 28-Gauge 2.5" shells wrong. You can easily tell if the figures have been corrected, since the longer shells will have more range than the shorter shells. Until I am able to go through all the Shotguns pages and correct everything, here's a quick fix: for 3" Magnum shells, multiply the range of the 2.75" shell (all the ranges of the 2.75" shells are actually correct) by 1.2. For 3.5" Magnums, multiply that 2.75" range by 1.2, than multiply that by 1.2 again. For the .410 2.5" shells, divide the 2.75" range by 1.2.
